• When a player is actually taking his or her turn, the time remaining should reflect the actual limit based on the time of starting the turn and the round time limit.

• When a player begins a turn, the round timer (24 hours in casual play) is no longer the only factor determining when the turn will time out. It would be useful to see the time remaining reduced to the lesser of the turn timer (1 hour) and the round timer (in case the turn was started in that last hour of the 24).

• This will give a more accurate portrayal of how much time may pass before the play moves to the next player. Don't tell me I have until tomorrow morning if the player just ahead of me has only 5 minutes before timing out.

It would work perfectly fine. In a freestyle game you know exactly when a person will time out, but if the last person is moving then you will know how much time of the hour they have left.

Ah, I take your point. Using the time remaining of the last person playing...

2-player freestyle game scenario:
Red player begins with 15:30 hours left.
Green player begins with 15:15 hours left.
The clock will read 60 minutes left as soon as Green player begins, but Red player only actually has 45 minutes.

It would be excessively confusing, even if you added a second clock to the equation.
